Ash's Rebreak Surgery

They ended up putting a pin in her arm. Yuck!!! she didn't like the choices of colors they had at the surgical center (she wanted orange for Halloween). She didn't want them to put a needle in her arm, so they had to put her completely out (which took her forever to wake up). When she finally did, she cried for two hours about her cast being ugly. They had to slit it, because they had to cut her arm open (I don't know what that looks like yet), to allow for swelling.

Pumpkin Shirts

We found this cute activity in our FamilyFun magazine that we get. Ashlynn just had to do this. granilani help Ash, Brenn, and the neighbor's granddaughter Maddie Tye dye the shirts. Then the next week, I helped them color them with fabric markers. They just love them. They wear them all the time.

Harvest Party- Berry Ranch Pumpkin Patch

Every year our friend's the Dalbey's have a harvest party. This year it was earlier than usuall, put we basically got the first pick of the crop of pumpkins. This is always a fun time.

Brennen's Birthday Party

"I get to be 4," says Brennen. He had a great time at his party.

Harvest Classic 9-27

Each year our down has a fun run for the schools, a two mile and a competitive race.
This is Ashlynn's second year running it. Last year I made a goal to run the two mile race, then vacation and school happened. So I decided to do the one mile with Ash. My friend Heather and her son were also there. Ash and another friend from church ran ahead and Heather and I "ran" with her son. I ended up running half of that mile, and about died afterwards. Again my goal for next year is to run the 2 mile race.

Family Home Evening- Feeding the Ducks w/ Papa and granilani 9/22

We had been gone all afternoon after school going to appointments and running errands. We had just walked in the door when mom called and said that they would be over in 10 minutes to take the kids to feed the ducks. They then got to play in the park and get twist cones at Artic Circle (Their Favorite). Thanks Papa and granilani for a fun evening.

Brennen the Fly Whisperer

This is a talent that we found out that Brennen had when we were in Utah for Grandpa Fox's and Nita's Birthday Party. Over the summer, Brennen caught many "friends" to play with. @least 50 of them. Here is a picture when he had caught two of them at the same time.

Mountain Home Airshow 9-13

We stood in line for over an hour to get a look inside this plane. They only allowed like six people in, because it was set up as a misquito abaitment and herbacide plane. So it had 4 large tanks in the back cargo area.

I'll try to get to my blogging more regularly.

Love Ya,
Lara

I know, I know, I know....

O.k. I know I haven't been to faithful lately. Since school started, I've done nothing but run around.

Our biggest news is that Ashlynn-Marie rebroke her left arm on Thursday October 9 (Happy 1st Birthday Tage!!!), and had to have a pin inserted and surgically set on Friday October 17th. Which followed by two hours of screaming after she woke up from the anaesthesia, because she didn't like how the cast looked. I snuggled with her in bed for about an hour after we got home, and Aimee brought her a pound of M&M's and her world was right again. Yesterday morning my friend Heather's four year old broke his wrist. I think we've started an epidemic, one of which I do not want to take responsibility for.

Ashlynn-Marie loves school! Most of our evenings are filled with homework. She has quite a few activities each night that need to be completed. But she loves school work so it isn't a problem to get her to do it.

Brennen just attended his first "friend Birthday Party" yesterday! A new little boy in our Primary is a week younger then Brenn. This is the boy that Brennen poked in the eye during sacrament their first Sunday. It's funny to see a bunch of Four year olds together, they will play together for a little while and then go their own way for a time, and then come back together again.

Paul's is headed to Florida this week for work. They are going to "Tour" the sites of Orlando so that when people call to book travel there, they have places to recommend. So he gets to go to Disney World, and Universal Studios. How Rough, Right!

I got my first research paper back from my History Prof. I got a B+, and I am shocked. It was such an obscure quote from more than 100 years ago, and then it was a quote about a time period 40 years previous to that one. Anyway I'll take the B+.

How this is finding you all well.

Lots of Love,
Lara
